Working with Fans First Entertainment 

Working with Fans First Entertainment is fun, challenging, and exciting. We have a team of extremely talented and positive people who are committed and energized by our mission. When it comes to the Banana Ball, they live and breathe “Fans First, Entertain Always.”

The Fans First way guides our team and our teammates to always be caring, different, enthusiastic, fun, growing, and hungry. Everyone shows personal and professional growth and they are constantly serving and impacting others. We’ve built an All-Star team of the best creators, performers, and doers in business. We constantly bring on people who contribute to the atmosphere of intelligence, passion, and fun! The team is obsessed with challenging the status quo and finding a better way to do almost everything for our fans.

 

Our Vision 

Bringing the Greatest Show in Sports to the online world. The role of the Website Coordinator is to support and assist in building the brand of Banana Ball and its teams through their websites to help create the most engaged fan base in the world. 

The Website Coordinator will have the opportunity to impact millions of fans online and continue pushing the boundaries of a website experience that is seamless for fans. 

This person is obsessed with every aspect of website building and understands the ins and outs of website development, design, and most importantly – the brand of Banana Ball. They always bring new ideas to the table and are constantly experimenting on our sites to continue growing our brand and spreading the word of Banana Ball.  

WEBSITE GOLD STANDARD 

Attention beats marketing 1000% of the time. Does our website clearly portray each brand identity and make baseball fun? Can fans navigate our website seamlessly to find answers to their questions, information, and more? 

We have the most electric and fun teams in sports. Our websites are being viewed constantly by fans to find content, information, and more. We have millions of fans who want to engage deeply with teams, players, and characters. It’s our job to connect these fans, inform these fans, and create new fans of Banana Ball through our websites. 

We must build websites that encapsulate the Greatest Show in Sports while staying relevant and fresh in an ever-changing digital world. 

Why is this job not for everyone? 

        • – We have a small budget and a small content creation team.

          – We don’t have the fanciest gadgets or gizmos. We will invest in them over time as we grow, but don’t expect a spending spree.

          – We will expect and push for an extremely high standard of content creation, production, and execution and expect someone that is hungry to learn, get better, and take constructive feedback.

          – You are going to be micro-led like crazy until you’ve earned trust.

          – We are extremely picky on what designs are created for our brands and what is produced and utilized online. You will have your ideas shot down time and time again. This can be frustrating.

          – The job is demanding. Our fans want to be with us 24/7/365.

          – We move quickly. We don’t have weeks on end to come up with ideas and execute them. We have days, sometimes hours, to create high quality content and make changes. You must be okay with last-minute adjustments and changes.

    Because of the challenges with this job, here are the Expectations: 

    You will be given more freedom in decision making as you earn your stripes and understanding of this business and organization. It’s going to take time to learn the ropes. The more you learn and the faster you learn, the more freedom that is earned.   

    We must outthink and not outspend. We will not invest heavily in things that don’t make a clear and dramatic impact. We must build up talented staff from the ground up that are hungry to learn and lead. We will not be able to hire tons of people from outside at outrageous salaries.   

    Be resourceful – Use your resources and skills to develop ideas that make a dramatic impact for our brands. 

    We must grow faster and learn faster than most people.  Our personal growth has to outmatch the growth of our business. Growing and learning are paramount to leading and inspiring a team of people.  

    You will work regularly with other departments to review goals, objectives, priorities, and results of your work and the department’s work to ensure that fans are having the best experience on our websites.

    What’s expected: 
        • An obsession with building the most on brand websites that are easy and smooth for our fans to navigate. This includes constantly working on the craft and developing yourself. 
        • Someone who moves confidently and quickly with clear decision making – we learn most from doing. We must have a bias for action and not paralysis by analysis. 
        • “Make Things Happen” – Knows how to execute ideas quickly. You must be able to create and execute efficiently. 
        • The ability to focus and prioritize the most important things and eliminate distractions. It’s easy to get wooed or pulled into a variety of different lanes. There are a million little ‘good things’ we can be doing but knowing the highest and best use of our time and leverage is critical. 
    What’s needed: 
        • At least one year of experience and knowledge utilizing WordPress or a similar website management system. 
        • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (specifically Photoshop) as related to graphic design is encouraged but not required. 
        • At least one year of experience and knowledge utilizing and tracking web traffic and performance with Google Analytics or similar.

    Key Responsibilities: 
    • Oversee the day-to-day management of all of Banana Ball’s WordPress-based websites, ensuring it meets our brand and fan needs. 
    • Assist in managing and updating our Shopify site for merchandise related launches and more.  
    • Lead efforts to optimize the user experience and use interface for improved engagement and overall site performance. 
    • Work closely with the Creative Team to ensure consistency in brand messaging, content structure, and visual design across all websites. 
    • This includes managing digital assets to ensure they are optimized for web use, improving site load speed, and visual quality.
